One of the most challenging vehicles to order tires for is the
Cadillac SRX.
It has either a 17- or 18-inch staggered tire size, meaning a
different size front-to-rear. Many opt for a value-oriented Kumho
tire. In the 17-inch sizes, the Kumho Solus KH16 is popular and in the
18-inch size it's the Kumho Ecsta STX KL12. Both tires
are highly rated relative to...

This is the season when most of us in the midwestern and northern
states need to start thinking about winter
tires and wheels for our cars. On my Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, I
use the

thrilled with the ride quality of the
O.E. tires. Usually the complaint is that the ride is too
harsh, especially when going over bumps.There is a post right...

Take a look at the BMW Shock Absorber and overall suspension
upgrade I did on my 1999 BMW M Roadster before I traded it a couple
years back. I do miss it, and was verry happy with the suspension
upgrade I did on the car.

adjustability so the ride didn't suffer any more then...
